N-BPD

I don't meet the diagnostic criteria for BPD anymore. There's hope out there. Recovery is totally possible. Reach out if you want to chat about this.

Notice and release.

Something as simple as how im sitting in my car takes a bit of conscious effort to relax, but it's nice. And also kind of shocking to realize anxiety has been scrunching your body -everywhere all the time-

Me: I'm jussssttttt gonnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa disssociaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate real quick

I'm not just saying this as someone who has abused others or has endured abuse. We need to get better at understanding and honouring boundaries holistically: our own needs and others, together, even when those have to be at a healthy distance.

Aw fuck

...nagging someone with anxiety to do the thing until they relent and give in and actually do the thing doesn't mean you did them a favour. It means they'd rather deal with their heightened anxiety to shut you up and get you off their back. This isn't being a good friend. It's being manipulative and inconsiderate of an anxious person's needs.
